A leading hospice that cares for more than 900 families every year is the latest recipient of the ‘Wired for Good’ campaign run by Alloy Wire International (AWI)., with the UK manufacturer of round, flat and profile wire donating GB£7,500 to the crucial work of Acorns Children’s Hospice.
AWI bosses have been long-term admirers of the charity and the way it provides respite, short breaks, end of life and emergency care across its three locations in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester – creating a homely environment where children can take part in a range of fun and therapeutic activities, from arts and crafts sessions to hydrotherapy.
To mark the 75th anniversary of AWI in 2021, the company agreed to support several local charities and donated GB£22,500 to Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge, the Chris Westwood Charity for Children with Physical Disabilities and the Giving Hands Mission.
“It was an easy decision to continue the ‘Wired for Good’ campaign for a further twelve months and we’re delighted that Acorns is the recipient that takes us to our GB£30,000 charitable milestone,” commented Tom Mander, managing director designate at Alloy Wire International. “None of us can imagine what life is like for families caring for children with complex needs, but Acorns and their outstanding staff have the skills to give families the love care and support they need. We know this donation will help benefit the hundreds of families in the local area that rely on Acorns.”
